Sophie Boy
Sophie Junge ist Oberassistentin am Kunsthistorischen Institut der Universität Zürich. Im Bereich der historischen Fotografie liegt ihr Lehr- und Forschungsschwerpunkt auf der Zirkulation kolonialer Fotografiebestände aus Südostasien. Zu ihren aktuellen Publikationen gehören u.a. der Aufsatz «Familiar Distance: Postcards from Java from a European Perspective, ca. 1880–1930» (2019) und das Themenheft «Den Blick erwidern. Fotografie und Kolonialismus» der Zeitschrift Fotogeschichte (2022).

The exhibition

Stereomania

The exhibition presents stereoscopic photographs of Switzerland from the period between 1860 and 1910. Thanks to the stereoscopic process, international publishing houses were able to popularise a touristic image that found its way into parlours and living rooms around the world. Spectacular mountain peaks, idyllic lakes and glamorous tourist hotspots could be explored in 3D. The circulation of these images helped make the country a top destination for tourists. The exhibition also features background information on the stereoscopics industry.
